l)XpoS. March II Thl was ex
pected to be an off week I" Parliament,
as th veto bill had been postponed
and ail the eseltement which It cre
ates for th moment was suspended.
Tho tnlnl.try. In addition, waa com
pelled to call a halt by the necessity
ef getting a vote on tha budget and
appropriation.
tvrrr mrtr.br r of Parliament antici
pated thua a pleasant and quirt little
Interval, during which they could safe
ly visit their hotnea or tha seashore,
but the Imens passion which now
tripe England everywhere to Ita depths
mart all of these calculations miscarry
and the wek wound up with one of the
moat pro!oned and excited sittings for
the last two years.
Torlr JUlbostcr and Insult.
Tories never forget the veto bill and
play for time every moment of the ses
sion. They bare organised a filibuster
ing campaign against all of the Govera
ment business and discuss every penny
of public money to Inordinate lengths
and never allow even the moet trivial
proposal to pass unchallenged and. In
order further to exaprate the sltua
tlon and waste time, their speaker
throw across the floor of the House of
immons epithets of Inaull at the mln
l.itera and all their opponents.
Th absence of Premier Asqutth. who
baa gone to visit hla sick daughter, and
the fact that Lloyd-George la compelled
to take a further vacation becauae of
the obstinacy of the malady In hie
throat threw the leadership of th" Lib
erals In the Commnm Inlo the band
of Winston Churchill.
Churchill's Tactic Knragc.
Tbla helped to bring on the extraordi
nary arena In which the week culminat
ed. Young, audacloua and aggreaalve.
Churchill drove the Torlea to fury and
Insisted on applying to them the moet
drastic form of cloaure and demanded
that tha budget bll should bo pushed
through by any means at any hour.
Thla resulted In scenes of great vio
lence and In a sitting which, beginning
about three on one afternoon, did not
end until 19:39 the next day.
There were momenta when passion
ran so high aa to threaten aa outburst
of physical violence between the mem
bera of different parties, but the char
acteristic English good sense and love
of fun and the absence of vlndlctlve
nesa came to the rescue and the sitting
passed off without any violence except
n speech.
Irish Sate the Day.
The leaders of the Irish party, even
the oldest among them, sat through
the night, rallying and encouraging
the Liberal ranks, and thua aaved tha
UberaJs several times from defeat or
from such email majorities as would
amount almost to defeat.
The ministerial majority ranged from
to to TO throughout the night, but
without the Irish members thla ma
jority would have descended to six or
seven, which In such a critical and
passionate time might have amounted
to a dlsastroua blow to the ministerial
preattge and the great campaign
agulnst the House of Lords.
The Tories. In season and out of sea
son, make violent remarks on Ireland
and the Irish members In pursuance of
their settled policy of a concentrated
campaign against the government and
the veto bill and borne rule.
Lone, Bitter Fight Ahead.
Though the Tories still are making
r.o way and though the home rule move
lost most ef Ita old terrors for the
Kngtlsh masses. It la evident the fight
will be extremely bitter In the next
three years, and that the House of
t'ommoM must have the fiercest, most
prolonged and most devastating fight
for two generations. Already the num
ber of public men on the sick list la
unprecedented, and more will be added
every month.
But the situation atlll remains with
out a cloud on the Liberal and Irish
horixnn. and these fierce attacks by
the Torlea reveal the desperation of
their fortunes. It la a prospect of
grim, prolonged and exhausting fight,
and probably the mortality In the
House of Commons In the next three
years will mount to high figures, but
Ireland Is worth It all.
A little personal episode was added
to tha fight when Miss Joanne Red
mond won big successes. She waa giv
en an unbroken chorus of applause by
all partlea and all papers.

DR. UNE AWAITS CALL?
EX-MAYOR SILENT AS TO PART
IV XEST CAMPAIGN.
George- II. Thoma Declares. Flatly
He Will Be Democrat Through
light for Mayorality.
While rr. Harry Lane maintains a
sphinx-like silence aa to whether or not,
he will be a candidate for the Demo
cratic Mayoralty nomination. George H
Thoraaa. chairman of the Democratic
County Committee, has grasped .time by
the forelock by declaring that he will
contest the Demorcatto prlmariea as a
strict Democrat with no nonpartisan af
filiations. In old-line Democratic quarters the
suspicion la rife that Dr. Lane, like Cln
clnnatua in the daya of ancient Rome,
la awaiting the call of the multitude to
assume the reins of city government.
The theory Is that be is proceeding on
the assumption that ho will be stronger
In the prlmariea If It Is made to appear
that hla candidacy is the result of an
overwhelming popular demand and that,
should he win the nomination, the same
argument will stand him In good stead
In bis fight against his Republican op
ponent. The word "quaquaversal." defined In
Webster's dictionary as meaning turning
or dipping In every direction, is the
keynote of Thomas' platform. He de
clares that he Is not quaquaversally In
clined and as proof of thla assertion as
serts, among other things, that the city
will have a Democratic Chief of Police
should he be elected Mayor.
Mr. Thomas declares that In tho event
of hla election he will speedily bring
to a point where settlement Is possible
mint vexatious municipal questions.
among othera that of the alleged paving j
trust. e aeusrva uii . y w.v-
can be solved In no other way he will
advocate the establishment of a munici
pal paving plant.
"The people themselves, being the
highest court, have determined on the
construction of the Broadway bridge and
I will. If honored with the Mayoralty,
do everything possible to see that their
will is carried out without delay." said
Mr. Thomas In expressing his attitude on
the question.
"All matters of difference between
the city and corporatlona should be set
tled without delay by the courts estab
lished for such purpose. Among others
there is the question of the occupancy of
city streets by the Northern Paclflo
Terminal Company. I believe that the
courts should settle all differences be
tween the city and public service cor
porations Involving large sums of money
and feel that the Mayor of a city should
not constitute himself Judge and Jury In
such eases. 6uch questions should be
submitted to the courts and fought out
upon their merits."

Theatrical Manager Seeks Re

ONE NIGHT ENOUGH FOR HIM
Victim Walka From MeMlnnTllle to
Make Complaint Asalnat Local
Hooking Manager "A Sold
ier's) Compact," a Tragedy.
George Simmons, the stranded manager
of a theatrical company, yesterday lodged
with the District Attorney information
against C G. Pulslfer, manager of a
theatrical booking agency with offices
In the Marquam building. Pulslfor was
arrested by Detectlvrs Hellyer and Mo
loney, charged with obtaining money by
fals pretenses.
After a disgruntled McMInnvllle audi
ence had expressed disapproval of a play
he had presented, Simmons borrowed a
dollar upon his suitcase and walked to
Portland to seek revenge upon the man
who. he says, has been selling "lucra
tive" positions as managers of road com
panies to numerous persons and reaping
fat harvesta at the rate of from )S0
to SfsW a person.
Simmons Says He Paid $100.
Simmons says that ho answered an ad
vertisement calling for a partner with
small capital, and was greatly Impressed
when ho found Pulslfer In a sumptuous
suite of offices. He says the booking
agent told him that he could give him
the management of the "Love of the
North" Company If he had 350 to lnveat.
Simmons had only 1W, and that amount
was accepted, he declared, with the
agreement that he pay the remainder out
of the "profits." He was told, he says,
that It would be necessary for him to
rehearse" his duUes as general man
ager, and he was kept about the office
on that pretext for two weeks. Then
he pressed for active service, and. the
"Love of the North" Company not be
ing ready to start on Its tour, be was
placed In charge of "A Soldier's Com
pact' and waa sent to McMInnvllle.
Hecclpls Iess Tliau IJonrd Bill.
One night of that was enough, says
Simmons. He took In less than enough
to pay his board. Simmons says, upon
returning to PorUand. he pressed for a
settlement. He was told, be says, that
the breaking up of the company amount
ed to a failure, with no assets, and that
there was nothing coming to him.
"But." he ebjected. "this was not the
rompany in which I bought an interest.
Mine waa the "Love ef the North.
"Oh. that company never existed, ne
quotes Pulslfer as saying, "loud bet
ter tear up your contract and come
around tonight and 1 11 give you a couple
of dollars."
. Simmons showed this contract to the
District Attorney.
Many other persons. It Is alleged, have
dealt with Pulslfer. Ralph Smith, it is
said, who wanted to be an actor, paid
Jli for the managership of "A Soldier's
Compact." and pawned his watch to get
back from McMInnvllle.

LAW IS BLAMED
W. D. Wheelwright Says Legis
' lature Caused Mix-Up.
SOLONS PASS UP REQUEST
Member of Port of Portland Com
mission Declares Resignations
and Appointments One by
One Was Proper Way.
W. D. Wheelwright, a member of tho
Port of Portland Commission, places re
sponsibility on 'the last Legislature for
the entanglement In which the Commis
sion now finds Itself with two sets, of
CommUoioners each declaring Itself to
be the legally-conertltuted governing
board of the port. Had the Legislature
recommended seven men to succeed the
present Commissioners and allowed the
Commissioners to resign one by one and
seat the men eo recommended there
would have been no trouble, Mr. Wheel
wright declares. This was the counse of
procedure recommended by the present
Commissioners. Instead. House bill 341
was passed, legislating the Commis
sioners) out of office and delegating to
Governor West the power of selecting
their successors.
All Anxious to Quit.
In view of the reports which have
appeared in the public prints relative
to the recent action of the Port of Port
land Commission declining to recognise
tno Governor's appointments to mem
bership In that body." eeJd Mr. Wheel
wright, "I contend that there is not one
of the seven members) of the Commission
as It existed prior to the enactment of
House bill M. passed by the Legisla
ture at Its last pesslon, -who ia not
anxious to resign his office and turn bis
duties over to his legally-appointed suc
cessor. "That when the said seven Commis
sioners unanimously asked the Legisla
ture to name seven other suitable per
sons that we might eloct and aid In
electing them to nil our places, there
was no doubt as to the legal constitu
tion of the Commission or of Its right to
nil vacancies in ita own body.
Law Is Thought Void.
"That the Legislature did not so act,
but passed a law giving the Governor
of the etate the sole right to appoint and
also to remove.
That the weight of legal opinion Is
overwhelmingly to the effect that the
said law Is unconstitutional. In which
case the appointments of the Governor
are void, and hia appointees would not
constitute a legal Commission..
"That If. on the other band, thla view
Is erroneous and the law is constitu
tional as may of course be the case
then the Commissioners have no power
to fill vacancies and it follows that any
person or persons elected by them would
not be legal members of the Commis
sion. Harmonious Plan Adopted.
That under theee circumstances the
only proper course seemed to be to call
a halt In the proceedings of the Commis
sion until such time as the Supreme
Court shall determine Its' legal statue.
Therefore the de facto members of the
Commission voted to refrain, for the
present, from performing any official
acts except such aa may be absolutely
necessary In the way of routine business,
and to Join with the Governor's ap
'polntees to expedite action by the court
at the earliest possible moment.
'That while it would have been pos
sible for the Commission to proceed with
regard to the Governor's appointments
In the same manner that It proposed to
treat the recommendations that it asked
the Legislature to make, the result
would have been' totally different from
that which would have bee'n accom
plished If the Legislature had com
piled with Its request. .
Speedy Settlement Wanted.
In view of the law enacted as to the
constitutionality of which there is grave
doubt, puch action by. tbe Commission
would liJive been a mora temporary
makeshift and would" b,ave left the ques
tion of the legal constitution of the
Commission, as also, of the proper
method of procedure In future, a matter
of doubt and uncertainty. Tho contro
versy would doubtless be re-opened im
mediately upon the resignation of a
member or his attempted removal by the
Copyright Hart Schattncr 6c Marx
Governor, and euch controversy might
be prolonged Indefinitely by dilatory tac
tics on either side. So that there seems
to be no question of the propriety of
having the matter settled now, when all
parties are desirous of a speedy solu
tion and will act together in trying to
accomplish It-"
'COLLEGE WIDOW ENJOYED
Agricultural School Students Enter
tain Corvalis Folk.
OREGON AGRICULTURAL COL
LEGE. Corvallls, March 11. (Special.)
Sparkling with life and the Joy of
youthful spirits, "The College Widow,"
kept an overflowing house In a gale of
appreciative laughter at the Corvallls
Opera House last evening.
It is the flth annual play given by
the combined Philadelphlan Feronian
Literary Societies or the state college.
Considering- the fact that It was the
first appearance for many of the ama
teur actors, Mrs. H. B. Carter, the coach,
deserves a great deal of credit for the
finished manner in which the cast of
twenty-four portrayed their parts.
Miss Ramona Kane, in the title role,
was especially charming and natural.
Miss Alice Shqpard and Miss Esther
Leech' as the athletic, girl and the
chaperone showed an excellent under
standing of their parts.
Miss Eileen Leech, In the 'difficult
character part of the boarding-house
waitress, brought forth rounds of ap
plause and her "love scene" in the
closing act with Gaylord Godfrey, as
Matty McGowan. was perhaps the most
appreciated situation of the play.
Bernard Olsen. as leading man, was
a trifle slow and over-dlgnlfied In the
first act but gradually warmed up and
carried out the last scenes acceptably.
Among those who took the male roles:
M. E. Smead. O. G. Reeves. E. Dutton
and H- M. Turner deserve special men
tion. C. Summerlin as Elam Hicks of
Squantumville, H. G. Smith as "Bub",
and R. H. Roberts as the harmless tu
tor, made up an effective trio of laugh
producers. Other minor parts were well hand
led by "Silent Murphy" Carlson. A. K.
Beman. H. Walberg, J. Shepard, Bert
Bowles, Alva Jones and James Caughell.
The Misses Hortense Epley. Marie Ca
they and Marie Hofer made delightful
college "queens."

cipally of members of the two socie

Commissioner Saya Tests Show
$1.50 Charged During 1910.
SALEM. Or, March JX (Special.) Ac
cording to tests made by Iceurance Com
missioner Kozer It is practically cer
tain that the fire Insurance rate for
1910 was not higher than $1.50 as
compared to $1.70 for 1909 and J2.U
for 1908. Figures for 1910 are becom
ing available at this time and the com
missioner Is certain of the decrease In
the rate. Better construction of build
ings, competition of mutuals and the
law prohibiting compacts and combina
tions are given by Mr. Kozer as some
of the reasons for this continuing de
crease In the rate.
There are now nearly 200 different
Insurance companies doing business In
the state and a large number of ap
plications' and new admissions have
been received or allowed during the
past few weeks.- According to Mr.
Kozer, the insurance business of the

The Really
Goo
Cannot possibly be made to sell at prices quoted by sensational
dealers who plan and ran a different kind of a special sale every
week. Poor materials and cheap, unskilled labor make it possi
ble to assemble a piano which, when new, may deceive those
who do not look deeply into construction and workmanship, who
do not scrutinize finish and case work, and whose measure of
quality is created by the enthusiasm of the salesman and the
assertion that a $350 piano is being offered for $162, or some
other odd figure.
Such pianos find no place in our house. In the end they are
most expensive because they lack durability, tonal character and
every quality which goes to make dependable instruments.
We make the claim, and it is proven daily by those who in
vestigate carefully before purchasing, that we sell better pianos
at smaller prices than any firm in this city or on the Coast.
This week we are showing an especially fine line of pianos
selling for less than $200 that cannot be equalled in the West.
They are dependable and are made of honest materials by work
men of experience and character. They are of fine tone and
action, in beautiful mahogany and oak cases, full size, and will
measure up, quality for quality, with pianos sold elsewhere for
$100 more. Every" intending buyer should see them.
Easy payments arranged to suit the best convenience of each
individual purchaser. -
